The Muslim's Rights Over the Muslim
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh:
And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
The questioner:
We ask your permission, our honorable Shaykh, to ask these questions that have reached us via the program's mobile phone, and I begin with this question from one of the listeners. He says in his question: What is the Muslim's obligation toward his Muslim brother?
The Shaykh:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, and upon his family and all his Companions. The Muslim's rights over the Muslim are six, six characteristics: if he invites you, you respond to his invitation; if you meet him, you greet him with the salam; if he asks for your advice, you give him sound advice; if he sneezes and praises Allah, you pray for his well-being; if he falls ill, you visit him; and if he dies, you follow his funeral procession. These are six characteristics that the believer should observe and attend to with his brother. Also, al-Bara' ibn 'Azib said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) commanded us with seven things, and he mentioned among them visiting the sick, following the funeral procession, praying for the well-being of the one who sneezes, and helping the oppressed. This is the Muslim's obligation over the Muslim. Yes. May Allah reward you.
And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings.
